Serving mainly as a boarding point for ferries between the Whitsunday Islands and the mainland, it is also home to many charter boat operations and provides the best access to many Whitsunday island resorts and campsites. HistoryShute Harbour takes its name from Shute Island which is about {{Convert|500|m|}} south-east of the headland of Shute Habour.[2] The island was named by in May 1881 by Captain John Fiot Lee Pearse Maclear of HMS Alert, possibly after a crew-member of that ship.[4] Harbour facilitiesOnce second only to Sydney’s Circular Quay as the busiest commuter port in Australia and hosting the largest seaplane airbase in the Southern hemisphere, Shute Harbour has faced many years of uncertainty as most ferry operations have moved to marinas in Airlie Beach. Shute Harbour Transit Facility is managed by the Whitsunday Regional Council. Major redevelopment plans for the facility have been flagged due to ageing infrastructure,[5] however much uncertainty exists with the nature of these plans. There are regular bus and taxi services available to and from the port which take the winding road through Conway National Park towards the harbour. See also{{Portal|Queensland}}
